Big Night for the Arts

About this event

One night, a world of creativity.

On November 14, the Arts + Business Council takes over Studio 615 for Big Night for the Arts , an immersive celebration of human creativity and the vibrant creative community that makes Nashville extraordinary.

Big Night brings artists and audiences together for a one-night-only experience spanning visual art, live performance, music, food, interactive installations, and unexpected creative moments throughout the evening.

This isn’t a traditional gala. It’s a night designed to be explored, experienced, and shared.

The After Party

Join us at Studio 615 on Saturday, November 14, from 8:30–11 p.m. for a party that puts Nashville’s creativity at the center of the night. Explore immersive art installations, dance to a set by DJ Alanna Royale, take in an immersive light show, and enjoy late-night bites from celebrity chef Brian Riggenbach—with drinks included with your ticket. (21+ only event.)

Come with friends, meet someone new, and spend the night surrounded by art you can only experience here.

A great night out can do some good, too. Every ticket supports the Arts + Business Council’s work to help local artists and creative businesses thrive. You’re helping Nashville’s creative community access the resources, guidance, and opportunities it needs to keep making the art that makes this city worth celebrating.

Creative cocktail attire encouraged. Bring your own flair.

The Party closes out Big Night for the Arts , a full evening of immersive art, performances, and a progressive dinner. The Immersive Experience has been SOLD OUT.

If you have already purchased tickets to the Immersive Experience, please note that admission to The Party is already included. After Party tickets are 21+ and non-refundable.

The Immersive Experience - SOLD OUT

Step inside Studio 615 for an immersive celebration of human creativity . Guests will embark on the evening in small groups, each following a different path through the space and encountering performances, installations, and unexpected creative moments along the way.

Beyond the art, the Immersive Experience includes a delicious progressive dinner designed by Chef Brian Riggenbach in collaboration with each of the presenting artists.

Enjoy food and drink thoughtfully integrated into the installations and performances for a truly one-of-a-kind immersive night.

No two groups will experience Big Night in quite the same way. Designed to surprise, delight, and bring people together, the Immersive Experience offers a new way to experience the extraordinary creativity of our city—and leaves a little of what awaits you up to chance.
